Anyone play this before? I just purchased a starter fleet which seems to be more than enough to play (10 ships!)
Can't believe how inexpensive this game is!

I downloaded the one page rules summary and played a few games with my children using home made models. I think it is an awesome. The toy value is amazing. The different fleets offer different tactical aproaches.
To see what I've done, look for Firestorm Armada on Youtube. My stuff is the foamcore and balsa fleets.
It may be a bit before I can afford to pick up actual models or the rules and cards that go with them, but I look forward to it. The best part is that the game is simple enough that my kids can play it with me.
i think the models are on the largish side
I've decided to start FSA. My hand-picked "MK2 starter box" is on its way from Atomic Empire as we speak! No one near me plays it, though. At least, not yet...

Too bad you live in Texas.
Seriously, who lives in Texas?
I play Aquan Prime. Federated Fishmen Forever! I'm seriously considering buying a Directorate starter fleet, if just to have the opportunity to put painted models into an opponent's hands for the demo game. I've found that it helps. The 20% discount for being a Spartan Games Vanguard doesn't hurt any, either...

Paladin, I've often thought from your posts that we'd get along swimmingly. Yeah, I live in Texas because I married a Texas girl and apparently it's hard to get them to leave this damn place. There are a lot of places I'd much rather live: Hawaii, Connecticut, Michigan, and California all spring to mind. However, it appears that this Yankee will eventually be buried in the Lone Star State (it should be called the Bat****-Crazy Governor, Cut-Education-to-the-Bone State... but I digress). Here are some shots of my fleet:

Thanks. Here's the brilliant bit: I named all of my ships after players in my local gaming group. That ONE idea has been a huge hit! Folks actually choose what to fire at based on the names. Much mirth ensues. "Is Todd's ship still alive? I'm shooting at that b@st@rd!" Seriously, it may be my most brilliant gaming decision ever! Cope
